Ingredients

• 1 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt
• ¼ cup crumbled feta cheese
• 3 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano, divided
• ¼ teaspoon lemon zest
• 2 teaspoons lemon juice
• ¾ teaspoon salt, divided
• 1 small red onion
• 1 pound ground lamb or ground beef
• ½ teaspoon ground pepper
• 2 whole-wheat pitas, halved, split and warmed
• 1 cup sliced cucumber
• 1 plum tomato, sliced

Directions

Step 1

• Preheat the grill to medium-high or the broiler to high.

Step 2

• In a small bowl, mix together the yogurt, feta, 1 tablespoon of oregano, lemon zest, lemon juice, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.

Step 3

• Slice onion into 1/4-inch-thick rings to make 1/4 cup. Finely chop additional onion to make 1/4 cup. (Save any leftover onion for another use.)
• In a large bowl, combine the chopped onion, ground meat, remaining 2 tablespoons of oregano, and 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and pepper.
• Shape the mixture into 4 oval patties, about 4 inches by 3 inches.

Step 4

• Grill or broil the patties, turning once, until an instant-read thermometer registers 160°F, about 4 to 6 minutes per side.
• Serve the burgers in pita halves with the yogurt sauce, onion slices, cucumber, and tomato.
